Regarding HR and weather on Suunto Race

[Ionut]

Hi,
I just started using my 2nd Suunto watch, Suunto Race. I have a few questions:

1. How does the weather work on the watch?
   Basically how I managed to get it to show correct info based on where I am is to go to “maps” and find location. Afterwards it shows me the weather for where I am. Otherwise it just stays at its last known coordinates. Even more peculiar is the fact that today I tracked a hike and though the map for it was very precise, the weather info was based on my last location, 100 km away.
2. During the only activity I tested, a hike, on the clock I could see some info but not the HR. In the end when uploading to the app I could find everything there but not DURING ehich sometimes I find useful. Can I do something about it?
3. Location services. It takes a bit too long. Let’s say I understand that it does not see me inside my apartment, but also on the train it took 4-5 minutes to find me. Also in an open balcony it was like 1-2 minutes. Again, is there something I should do? Tbh this is a bit annoying, together with the weather issue.
   Thank you!

@Ionut-Andarachi let me see.

For 1) I think location is actually from the phone, not the watch. Is the phone sending weather forecast to the watch.

For 2) you can create a custom sport mode (check the website for information) and add HR to your screen.

For 3) I cannot say without knowing if your AGPS was up to date, and if this was your first activity or not. My GPS locking is a matter of seconds.
